What to do
Travelling through Vietnam will give you to get experience a country that both is a natural wonderland and a
mosaic of complex cultures rich with history, and to see the full spectrum of life in Vietnam from locals farming rice
in the highlands to local life in the city.
1. Trek through tribal villages in Sapa
Laying in the far north of Vietnam, Sapa set itself apart from other cities in this country with colorful ethnic
minorities, cool weather year-around and endless terraced fields. The trek can be done in a day, but it is
recommended that hikers go overnight, up to hill and the tremendous valley covered in green and yellow “waves”
starts to fill in your eyes. Further down the way into modest huts, hamlets scattered throughout the district. Get
lost in the Old quarter of Hanoi
2. Traditional boat or overnight in luxury cruise in Halong Bay
Whole day to enjoy the incredible range of natural wonders spread over tropical evergreen, oceanic and seashore
ecosystems, then step into another world through the expansive caves dotted throughout the islets. Each cavern
contains jagged stalactites and stalagmites in a vast spectrum of shapes. And a wonderful night on a luxury cruise
anchored in the middle of the bay with a romantic dinner of fresh seafood is indeed an unforgettable experience.
3. Try street food everywhere you go
How about rolling off track and taste the best food on earth? In Vietnam, every place and each corner has their
distinctive kinds of food that will amaze you. Typically, Northern dishes uses herbs for modest flavour toppings.
Central food influenced by the imperial past with more lavish and colorful cuisine. The southern cuisine relies
heavily on spices, herbs and fresh vegetable. Beef or chicken noodle soups (Pho bo ga), stir-fried noodles (Pho
xao), crab vermicelli noodle (Bun rieu cua), egg coffee in the street-side cafes and beer jerky salad in Hanoi or
savory pancakes (Banh xeo), sweet and sour fish soup (Canh chua ca loc), rice paper salat (Banh trang cuon), snail
dishes (Mon Oc) and hundreds of sweet desserts in Saigon.
4. Discover the hidden charm of Hue on a local cyclo (rickshaw) ride
A perfect recipe for your Hue trip is a cyclo (rickshaw) and a friendly driver. They will take you on a tour around the
city, and will act as an amateur tour guide but know many interesting corners that only locals know.
5. Sit on a small boat around Hoi An seven-acre water coconut forest
Seven-acre water coconut forest is a famous eco-tourism area in Cam Thanh, Hoi An. Sit on a basket boat to
explore the green coconut forest, admire the basket dance displayed by local guys, boat racing and enjoy local
foods.
6. Crawl through the eminent Cu Chi Tunnels
Explore the vast network of underground tunnels from the 1940s, during the American War, guerrilla Viet Cong
forces expanded to cater for larger frames, but still a tight fit. Try to squeeze in the tight tunnels and discover
innumerable trap doors, living areas, storage facilities, classrooms and weapon factories.
7. Enjoy bustling Saigon nightlife
Hochiminh city (Saigon) is a bustling city in southern Vietnam. Whether you’re zooming by on a motorbike or
sipping designer cocktails at a rooftop bar, there is much to explore in a city of harmony and chaos with pop-up
music, lighting and irresistible food smell.
8. Joining the floating market in Mekong Delta
Go early to join the sampan boat traffic jams in the surrounding areas buzzing floating markets and see a thousand
of conical hats bob and weave as exotic fruits and Dong notes change hands.
9. Sun-seeking in Phu Quoc
Dive the reefs, kayak, snorkel or dive in the bays, eat up the back-road miles on a motorbike, relax in the elegant
resorts fringed with white-sand beaches.
